CORONER Drummer Says "There's No Talk" About A New Studio Album
April 21, 2011, 13 years ago
Drummer Marquis Marky (aka Marky Edelmann; ex-APOLLYON SUN) from legendary Swiss thrash trio CORONER was guest on Tony Webster's (ARCHETYPE singer) The Metal Command radio show last Friday, April 15th. The audio from the chat is currently streaming on the player below:
A few excerpts from the chat follow:
On current state of the band: "We're practicing and rehearsing. For me personally, I didn't play the drums like this for 15 years. We started back last September and it sounds quite good, but it was a lot of work. Very painful actually. It was a total time-warp and the songs seemed to be programmed in me. It was quite a trip."
About a new studio album: "We never really thought about that because we've been too busy getting ready for the shows. I don't know, I can not say right now. There's no talk about this right now. We are concentrating on playing those live shows and whatever happens later I have no idea. I really can't say because there's no time to think about it."
Reissuing back-catalog: "I was surprised because I was trying to buy a CD recently and was told that you could not buy them anymore. It would be a good idea. Basically you can download everything. Just like the vinyl days, I like to have something in my hand. It's still different than a downloaded file on your computer. Last year we started working on a home video which will have all of our video recordings from the past with interviews. Probably next year we will put out something."
The first rehearsal footage of the reunited Coroner - who also feature bassist Ron Royce (aka Ron Broder) and guitarist Tommy Vetterli (aka Tommy T. Baron; ex-KREATOR) - can be viewed below at the following the links and on YouTube below:
The reunited Coroner have confirmed two shows this year: the Impetus festival on April 23 at les Docks in Lausanne, Switzerland and an exclusive US appearance at Maryland Deathfest IX, which will take place May 26-29 at Sonar in Baltimore.
Coroner were originally road crew for CELTIC FROST and eventually formed their own group, recording their demo Death Cult in 1986 with Tom G. Warrior of Celtic Frost on vocals. Their first full-length album R.I.P., released in 1987, featured bass player Ron Broder on vocals and he assumed the role for the rest of the group's existence.
The group released several albums through to 1993, ending with a greatest hits collection, Coroner, in 1995. After disbanding in 1995 The Unknown Unreleased Tracks 1985-95 was released in 1996.
Coroner appears on Brütal Legend with the song 'Skeleton On Your Shoulder'.
